The name "RCA" connectors comes from the name Radio Corporation of America, which was the company that basically began the age of radio and then television, and then color tv, in the United States. They were located in New York City, and literally created the radio and television broadcast industry, by either buying up every electronics-related patents and inventions, or inventing them (as in the case of NTSC color tv) in their own laboratories. They also invented the 45-rpm vinyl record format, in 1949. They invented the connector as a simple method of making internal connections in their radio and phonograph consoles. The connector became very popular, and has been called the "RCA" (or "phono") connector ever since. There is a wikipedia entry called 'RCA connector' where you can find its entire history.

Thanks for sharing this. I just finished adding bluetooth to a Sony CFS-930 as a birthday present for my sister. I used (I think) the same bluetooth module, with an LM317-based regulator to drop the internal 9-10V down to 3.7V, and 4-pole dual-throw (4P2T or 4PDT) switch to handle the connections. The tape deck still works, the radio still works and, with a flick of the new switch on the back, the bluetooth works! (with some noise from a ground loop somewhere). Your videos were a great guide and I found them very helpful. Thanks again!

In my part of the US they are either "RCA" connectors, or some older guys call them "phono plugs", as they old connections from phonographs often used the same type of plug, although they were usually black and mono, so only one cable carrying a single channel of audio. Some older systems used the same connector style as RCA for things like the antenna, loudspeakers, etc.

I tend to believe, that "cinch" has Spanish origins, and denotes a strap that encircles the horse barrel in order to hold the saddle. And after this word has been adopted in English and some other languages, it obtained a more generic meaning "to tightly encircle something". Like, for example, a type of corset - "waist cincher".

Not only do you not want to have to worry about the internal battery of the BT receiver being unchargeable after so many years, but even having to charge it separately would be a pain in the butt; it ought to act like it was part of the boombox all along. But then you could use the boombox's power supply to recharge it either from mains or from the boombox's batteries, but even that can present at least one overcomplexity problem: that the eventual nonrechargeability of that battery will come back to bite you. So yeah, I agree, ideally this would be best... but then of course there's that problem of audio noise that can come back to bite you as well. So hmm... "6 vs. half a dozen," eh? I like that you used the USB charger to keep charging receiver's battery while the boombox is powered by mains, but that doesn't address trying to get it done with the D cells, nor does it fix the eventual nonrechargeability, so it would be good to still find a more elegant/permanent solution. I guess there's still the buying of a modern combo boombox that already has these features, but there are only like maybe 2 models like this, if I remember right, so our choices are pretty limited. Although... maybe only 2 choices are all we need if they're good machines.

Hey, guys. Using this tutorials, I was able to let the line-in work in my old Panasonic RX-DT37. (However, I just replaced the radio with line-in there) But now I am digging into a Sharp WQ-750HT(BQ) , couldn't find manual online, but it's OK. So I was able to understand, what's going where (thanks to this tutorial and 2 previous parts) but when I connect the line-in, instead of a tape this time, the sound is so distorted. Tried with radio as well - the result is the same. May it be, that I miss something? Like, mb, some resistors must be included for some models?
@yorudzhov4 жыл бұрын
So actually, I found the reason soon after that comment. In Panasonic pre-amps are located on Tuner/Tape boards. And i easily modified several Panasonics, just connecting the line-in into the main board instead of the Turner/Tape boards. In 198X Sharp basically pre-amps are located on the main board. So it was also easy. I've connected the line-in into the "input" of Equalizer board. That's all.

I understand it's a more accessible project when you use a simple USB charger on AC to power things, but I think I would have preferred using a DC-DC buck converter to go from the unit's internal power, then it could have run the bluetooth from either AC or battery. Then again, the unit will probably never actually be used on battery. I think if I were using a unit like that much, I would put some 18650 lithium cells in along with charging circuitry - rather than buy C or D cells or whatever it is using.

Seegal Galguntijak You don't have to do anything. You can buy the module to handle the entire thing for dirt cheap.

I live in Germany. I'm used to calling these RCA/Cinch connectors "Bananenstecker" (= Banana connectors). Don't ask me why. seems be some remnant artifact from way back when phone operators were using plugs to switch phone connections on a switchboard. I only use Cinch when shopping around because it specifically means this type of RCA connector. Where as Banana connectors refer to a bunch of similar connectors. The whole Connector terminology landscape is a whole clusterfuck. A mish mash of English and German official names and their colloquialisms. Sometimes it's hard to know WTF you are talking about.
